[Verse 1]
Bm G
It's four in the morning, the end of December
Em7 F#m7
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
Bm G
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
Em7 F#m7
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening
Bm C#m Bm C#m
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
Bm A
You're living for nothing now
Bm A
I hope you're keeping some kind of record
[Chorus 1]
D A
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
Bm
She said that you gave it to her
C#m A
That night that you planned to go clear
G F#m7
Did you ever go clear?
[Verse 2]
Bm G
Ah, the last time we saw you, you looked so much older
Em7 F#m7
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
Bm G
You'd been to the station to meet every train
Em7 F#m7
And you came home without Lili Marlene
Bm C#m Bm C#m
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
Bm A Bm A
And when she came back, she was nobody's wife
[Chorus 2]
D A
Well, I see you there with the rose in your teeth
Bm
One more thin gypsy thief
C#m A
Well, I see Jane's awake
G F#m7
She sends her regards
[Verse 3]
Bm G
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer?
Em7 F#m7
What can I possibly say?
Bm G
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
Em7 F#m7
I'm glad you stood in my way
Bm C#m Bm C#m
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Bm C#m Bm A
Well, your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free
[Chorus 3]
D A
Yes, and thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes
Bm A
I thought it was there for good so I never tried
D A
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
Bm
She said that you gave it to her
C#m A
That night that you planned to go clear
G F#m7
